Gaza Civil Defense on Tuesday recovered the bodies of 15 Palestinians from the courtyard of Shifa Hospital in western Gaza City. Among the victims, four remain unidentified, the agency said.
The total number of bodies recovered from the hospital complex has now reached 113. “Several bodies remain missing on the hospital grounds, as work is still ongoing to retrieve them,” the Civil Defense added. On Monday, teams transferred 98 bodies from the site, including 55 unidentified individuals who had previously been buried inside the hospital.
The Gaza Media Office said a mass grave discovered inside the Shifa complex in May 2024 contained dozens of exhumed bodies. The office described the grave as “part of the genocide and crime committed by the Israeli army inside the Shifa Medical Complex, during which nearly 400 people were executed.”
A ceasefire in Gaza took effect on October 10 under a 20-point plan proposed by US President Donald Trump, ending two years of attacks that killed more than 70,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured nearly 171,000 since October 2023.
Phase one of the plan includes the release of 'Israeli' captives in exchange for Palestinian detainees and envisions rebuilding Gaza under a new governing mechanism without Hamas.
